What is the total cost of producing 100,000 tons of methanol per year using coke oven gas as raw material?
The cost per ton to produce methanol from coke oven gas is currently around 1,300–1,500 yuan.
If your coke oven gas is of your own, it’s relatively cheaper – 800 to 900
Based on such costs, it can be said that the production cost of methanol in this country is relatively low. It has advantages over things like natural gas: lol
Under 1500, but much higher than other **. Our factory produces 1,600 tons of methanol from coal.
How can it be so low? In our factory, the cost of producing methanol from coke oven gas is 2,000 yuan per ton. However, utilities such as oxygen, nitrogen, deionized water, and electricity are provided by other units. Is this price reasonable?
Gas costs 0.25 yuan, electricity costs 0.52 yuan; the total cost is approximately 1350 yuan per ton
If the cost of gas is not taken into account, and only fixed costs such as depreciation and wages, along with related variable costs, are considered, the cost of producing one ton of methanol is generally around 1,000 yuan. This is related to the composition of the gas, system pressure, and catalyst activity.
The cost of producing methanol from coke oven gas is approximately 900–1000 RMB. The current market price in Hebei is around 2000 RMB, so the net profit is 1000 RMB. This is why producing methanol from coke oven gas has advantages: low cost and strong competitiveness.
You’re exaggerating a bit. The budget provided by our project design institute is around 1600. The air separation compressors are driven by turbines, and the synthesis compressors are also driven by turbines; the cost for these components is 1600, while the electricity-related costs amount to 1650
If electricity is used, there’s no need for a boiler. The construction cost is much lower. Of course, a boiler can also be paired with power generation equipment, which can save a lot of money.
It depends on your various consumption factors and processes: mainly the process costs related to purification, gas production, and synthetic distillation. Coke oven gas, water, and power are the main cost factors, followed by equipment depreciation, maintenance, and the consumption of consumables.
